THE GIRL WHO HELPS MOTHER

There is a girl, and I love to think
Of her and talk of her, who comes in
late when there is company, who wear
a pretty little air of mingled response
bility and anxiety with her youth,
whom the others seem to depend on
and look to for many comforts. She
is the girl who helps mother. In her
own home she is a blessed little saint
and comforter. She takes unfinished
tasks from the tired, still fingers that
faulter at their work; her strong
figure is a staff upon which the gray
haired, white-faced mother leans and
is rested. She helps mother with the
spring sewing, with the weeks mend
ing with a cheerful conversation and
cogenial companionship that some girls
do not think worth while waiting on
only mother. And when there comes
a day when she must bend, Is girls
must often bend, over the old worn
out body of her mother, lying unheed-
full in her coffin, rough hands folded,
her long disquiet merged in rest, some
thing very sweet will be mingled with
her loss, and the girl who helped
mother will find benediction of peace
upon her head and in her heart.-Ea.

knead as bread; cut it across through
and through with a knife; let it rise
six Or seven hours, as it may require;
take from the pan, knead it we'll, cut
in small cakes and put to rise in pan
an hour or more before baking; this
recipe, with sugar and suitable spices,
makes excellent doughnuts.
CHICKEN BROTH.
Cut chicken into quarters, lay it in
salt and water an hour; put on in soup
kettle with an onion and four quarts
of water. Bring very slowly to gentle
boil and keep this up until the liquid

shrinks from the bones. Take out the
chicken, salt it and set aside with a
cupful of broth in a bowl (covered)
until next day. Season rest of broth
and put back over the fire. Boil up
and skim, add nearly a cupful of rice,
previously soaked in a bowl of water.
Cook slowly until the rice is tender.
Stir a cupful of hot milk into two
beaten eggs, then into broth. Let all
come barely to a boil. When you
have added a handful Of fnely-minced
parsley pour out into tureens and serve.

HINTS TO ~HOUSEKEEPERS.

Hearths of gray marble are cleaned
by rubbing with linseed oil.
A small foot afghan or a crazy quilt
is seen on many made-up beds.
Revive leather chair seats by rub
bling with well-beaten white Of egg.
To clean piano keys, rub them with
a little alcohol, applied with a soft rag.
If your fat-irons are rough, rub
them with fine salt and it will make
them smooth.
T%urpentine will remove ink spots
from white muslin if added to them
while boiling.
To clean tinware, dampen a cloth,
dip it in soda, rub the ware briskly
after which wipe dry.
Do not shut off the damper in the
pipe so closely as to cause the gas to
escape into the room.
To prevent cakes from adhering to
the tin, after greasing the tins dust
thoroughly with -four.
Keep the flour barrel raised a few
inches from the floor, SO that the air
may circulate underneath and prevent
dampness.
The kitchen window is the best of
all windows for plants. They receive
the needed moisture from the steam of
kettles and boilers.
To remove the shiny look from black

both crusts together.
To keep the plants in the cellar take
them up and spread loosely on shelves
or hang to the joists overhead. The
temperature of the cellar should not be
over 40 Or so degrees.
There should be a small table about
the height of the range for use as a
resting-place for utencils when ONE
let's, griddle cakes, etc., I made. 1t
should be covered with zinc.
Choose a time when the ground is
dry for taking up plants. The plant
